A dictionary definition of grace, according to Christian belief. "Unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings."
Grace for today, is all I need. Wow, can it really be that simple? One day my husband had the privilege of offering a ride to an elderly, poor lady leaving a thrift store and though his intent was to assist her in her travels, I dare say he came out blessed and humbled by her grateful attitude.
Apparently she had nothing or very little. By her own admission her total dependence was on Christ, and her sweet, grateful, appreciative outlook was amazing given her obvious circumstances. As he started in the direction of her home he mentioned going downtown next at which she asked if he could bring her there instead. Certainly he replied, "Where would you like to go"? Well apparently not far from where he worked, there was a food kitchen that she wanted to stop by so she could get something to eat. Another humble moment.
She said she was appalled at all the drunk people who were there with little appreciation for what people were doing for them and asked God if
he would please not let those drunks be there the next time she came.
She proclaimed very proudly that last week when she went, not a drunkard around! She was very grateful and thankful to God for hearing her prayer. Needless to say it was hard to keep a dry eye upon hearing her story. Such grateful, loving dependence on God for supplying all her needs, each day.
Another Wow! Yes folks, we are spoiled rotten! Help us to have that loving, sweet spirit and not be too busy to reach out to those in need in our path.
